"This Tornado Loves You" Lyrics

My love, I am the speed of sound
I left them motherless, fatherless
Their souls dangling inside out from their mouths
But it's never enough
I want you

Carved your name across three counties
Ground it in with bloody hides
Their broken necks will line the ditch
Till you stop it, stop it, stop it
Stop this madness
I want you

I have waited with a glacier's patience
Smashed every transformer with every trailer
Till nothing was standing, sixty-five miles wide
Still you are nowhere, still you are nowhere
Nowhere in sight
Come out to meet me, run out to meet me
Come into the light

Climb the boxcars to the engine
Through the smoke, into the sky
Your rails have always outrun mine
So I'll pick them up and crash them down in a moment close to now
'Cause I miss, I miss
I miss, I miss
I miss, I miss
I miss, I miss
How you'd sigh yourself to sleep
When I'd rake the springtime across to your sheets

My love, I am the speed of sound
I left them motherless, fatherless
Their souls dangling inside out from their mouths
But it's never enough
I want you

My love, I'm an owl on the sill in the evening
But morning find you still warm and breathing

This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
What will make you believe me?

This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
What will make you believe me?
